This week our Year 10 Geography GCSE students took part on a field trip in the Wyre Forest.
The Geography team and volunteers ran the fieldwork over 3 days to over 150 pupils. The activities included vegetation transects, field sketches, canopy observations and environmental quality surveys. These activities were designed to create a case study which will help with a year 11 topic on ‘The living world’ as well as proving an insight into how fieldwork is collected which is required for paper 3. The next steps will be writing this up to explore how ‘healthy the forest is’, and critiquing how reliable our fieldwork data was. The year 10s represented the ethos and values of Myton school with the staff there and the general public taking time to comment on how well behaved and mature the students were. It was a pleasure to hear and really supports the reasons we provide these opportunities to our students.
We look forward to doing it again next year!
